Today, we\u2019d like to talk about an effective service <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/\">our Los Angeles dental office<\/a> is using to treat gum disease. The service is called <strong>Arestin<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Arestin<\/strong> is an antibiotic, but it\u2019s not a pill, like other antibiotics. Instead, <strong>Arestin<\/strong> is applied directly to the part of your gum line that needs to be treated. Once applied, Arestin\u2019s small particles of medicine go to work right where they\u2019re needed, targeting bacteria. By itself, <strong>Arestin<\/strong> cannot be more effective than scaling and root planing (SRP) alone. Combined, <strong>Arestin<\/strong> and SRP can deliver dramatic results that greatly improve oral health and well-being.\r\n\r\nNot only does this service start working immediately, it keeps working days afterwards. That means you can return to your normal schedule confident in the knowledge that <strong>Arestin<\/strong> will keep working after you\u2019ve left <strong>Dr. Latner\u2019s Los Angeles<\/strong> office.\r\n\r\nTo learn more about this great service, visit Arestin\u2019s website or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/contact.html\">call<\/a> <strong>Dr. Latner\u2019s Los Angeles<\/strong> dental office for a visit. We\u2019re focused on creating healthy, beautiful smile with a comprehensive range of general, cosmetic, and restorative services.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In our last post, we talked about the connection between your heart and your gums.
